Default I' m confused

I went out shooting today. Patterned my gun yesterday and found that I need to aim a little lower than I was aiming before. I also have to go a few inches to the left. Nothing big but my patterns improved.

I took some winchester supreme #6' s and remington hevi-shot #5' s (all I could find, the 6' s were all bought up).

I took the first shot at 40 yards with the winchesters and got 7 hits in the head (only one or two were near the center). Changed targets and shot again at 40 yards with the hevi-shot and got 5 hits in the head (mostly right on the edges of the circle). Neither one was amazingly even but it' s the best my gun has ever done.

Now which one do I use? Eastern turkeys are tough critters and I was kind of leary of using the 6' s. I know the hevi-shot has got enough butt behind it to kill a big tom at 40 yards but the pattern dencity leaves isn' t as good as the 6' s.

Which would you use?
